I wonder if that has anything to do with Marijuana being legalised in many jurisdictions?He committed crimes. He is a criminal. Why is that so hard for you to understand?
I know the exact underlying reason why too. He made a stupid decision to start taking drugs in the first place. Nobody held a gun to his head.
And once again, I'll reiterate, the crime rate in America has fallen since Trump has taken over...
So that a guy on his third strike with a gram of weed doesn't necessarily get a mandatory 20years.
The problem with labelling a someone a criminal for minor offences is that it increases the chance of reoffending.
A criminal record mean they can't get a decent job. So how does he/she look after a family?
If everyone keeps calling you a criminal, do you start to think of yourself a criminal? Does that make it easier to head down that path in comparison to if you know you are a decent person who made a mistake?
Even if it's just a small drug conviction for something done in their young and dumb days?
